Ages of Conan was number 1 on that list at one time, put as much or as little faith in it as oyu want. You can alostry reading tea leaves, probably be about as accurate and maybe more so
I've noticed that people seem to be spaming the SW:TOR hype meter with the same cookie cutter "WOW" references. At no point have I looked at this game and said "this reminds me of WOW". I'm one of the biggest anti-wow people I know. If this appeared like wow to me I'de avoid it like the plague, believe me! I think that the hype meter is definitly being manipulated by the GW2 crowd. It really found it upsetting.
Personally, I am afraid that the game will lose interest after a short period and leave the game's survival to the fan database, I really hope that this is plenty for the game, but doubt it.
Oh NOOOOSSS! because lists of opinions of random strangers that have never played the game are so accurate!!!

This site's hype list is about as useful at measuring hype as a... really bad measurment thing that isn't at all accurate...
There should be some type of weighted average cause not all games have the same amount of players also some cater to different audiences. I would say the rating system though as it stands is pritty good I guess.
I changed my vote from when I first gave it a 10 to 7 though, maybee I changed everything.
It's militant GW2 fanboys who downhype everything with a 1 and then hype their precious game with a 10...i've not seen such rabid prerelease fanboyism for a game since Darkfall
I made the mistake of saying in my hype that the game didn't interest me in the slightest and I got some ANGRY messages from GW2 fans tellign me that I'm a huge faggot and don't know what i'm talking about...it was great.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
Characters look like they are from a superhero comic book.... tights! Ew!
World look like WoW....
When you fight you don't see any blood, just silly light effects. Like the cute anime games...
It seem to be like a single player game that you must pay for every month online....
AI also seem boring and very stupid...
Ofc it will drop.
well if you dont like it and nothing is free so some games you have to pay.... i dont understand why every one wants everything for free you pay for internet you pay cable nothing is free not even games. you pay to buy them then play them......... so you never played the game proof to me that its stupid and boring and i belive you. till then spam all you want people still going to pay to play and play. if you like guild wars go to that game not all games going to suit your needs :P.
SW:TOR was never a game I was looking to buy, but I was still interested in it. However the more and more I see from gameplay videos I loose more and more interest in this game. It looks terrible to me. This is just my opinion so no reason to bash me for it. You can have your own.
i have to agree with grachics but still they went that route so every one who has pc can play it and dont have to spend money to upgrade much.... again with you all wanting pretty grachics when you all going to realize grachics dont make a game its about game play and how it keeps me entertained. look at wow it looks cartonny and people still play it heck i still play nintendo and atari when it first came out and i still like it it looks terrible but then again not every one can afford super computers to play one game. so yeah thats why they went that route for grachics i played games for a very long time since i was 6 years old when atari came out so looks terrible but some times trash can be good.

Thats just plain wrong. Sorry that happened. Most of the GW2 fans Ive seen posting on the net seem to be pretty reasonable and decent.
But as for blaming Swtors hype level on GW2 fans, I think thats a little bit of a militant statement. If thats really the case Id assume Swtor would at least be right behind GW2 on the hype meter. Instead there's what? Four other games in front of it? I guess those guys are to blame too. In fact, if it just wasnt for all those pesky fans of other mmorpgs coming out, Swtor would be at the top of the list wouldnt it ! Darn pesky fans.

Don't really thing anyone is to blame, people are being people, GW2 fans will vote 10 on GW2 and low on swtor just the same as swtor fans will vote 10 on ToR and low on GW2.
The real numbers you have to look at to get a real understanding of how many people are hyped is how many votes each one gets.
archage 581 votes - 8.31 hype
planet side 2 164 votes 8.24 hype
The secret world 1004 votes 8.09 hype
WildStar 51 votes 8.00 hype
Star wars the old republic 3,840 votes 7.98 hype
Guild wars 2 2515 votes 8.74 hype
Notice the only one of the ones between SW;TOR and GW2 that gets even close to the number of hits is TSW and that is at 8.09 not much higher then ToR. the rest bearely break 500...if that while TOR and GW have it in the thousands of votes.
Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.
Is ToR going to be good? Dude it's Bioware making a freaking star wars game, all signs point to awesome. -G4tv MMo report.

And who are you to tell someone they can't enjoy a game because of graphics. If good graphics determine whetheror not someone can get into a game or not is theyir bussiness. Graphics DO make the game. Otherwise companies wouldn't be spending billions and billions of dollars a year trying to make them better.
I really think the people that havent played beta are going to be crushed on how bad this game is when they get to try it. Just my opinion tho.
and mine too. I can't wait for the NDA to be lifted to see what the testers really think.
Thats for sure what Im waiting for. I have such mixed feelings about the game right now, I am actually looking forward to the NDA lift to see what the real deal is.

There are plenty of leak sites out there... Mostly everything I have read has been positive.

That's funny. The beta leak site I've been following had one tester giving it a 6.5 score. Other testers were less than glowing in their assessments too.
I have pre-ordered the game myself but I'm being realistic in my expectations, which are that it's going to hold my attention for no more than a couple of months or so.
keep in mind this game also gave lord of the rings online xpac rise of isengard a best xpac award when next to no one has seen it lol. Even if its dropping ill base the game after launch 3 months in the first month especially tells a lot.

That's funny, because the beat leak sites I've seen are filled w positive feedback. In fact, the only negative "review" I've seen was from a SWG vet that was pissed the game wasn't SWG2.

I follow that site, and the score was given mainly due to bugs.

It's a mainstream focused themepark game. This site is friendly to neither mainstream or themepark games. It shouldnt be much of a suprise.
Oh NOOOOSSS! because lists of opinions of random strangers that have never played the game are so accurate!!!
In other news, The Sky is Falling!
Its entirely probable that this game's original hype level was rooted inthe irrational foundation of "'OMG STAR WARS"
If anything, the current score is a more realistic reflection of "not everyone will love it".

How does the score going down by 0.03 in the last month support your statement at all?
"If half of what you tell me is a lie, how can I believe any of it?"
No credibility after saying that in green above.

Yup, the same standard BS line trotted out by people who haven't done any actual research on the game. This is a multiplayer game in every aspect.

6 or 6.5 sounds about right... I'm guessing.

AoC and WAR were at the very top of the hype meter up to their release. Trust me, the hype meter means nothing.
